Why should I remove the tree stump?

A tree stump left in your garden may not initially be a cause for any issues. However, the longer it is left, the more problems could occur. Old tree stumps left in the ground can get in the way when using your garden or mowing your lawn and be a tripping hazard for you and your family. The biggest reason we suggest removing your old tree stumps is due to the home it can provide for termites and other pests. Once the tree has been removed from the stump, it will begin to decay and rot over time. It will serve as a breeding ground for a variety of property-damaging pests. 


Stump removal vs grinding

Both stump removal and grinding come with a list of benefits. The route that you choose will depend on any plans you have for your yard. Stump removal is a more intrusive way to remove a stump. It involves heaving the bulk of the tree stump and removing the roots from the surrounding areas. Although this is more challenging work and may take slightly longer than grinding, once the stump is completely removed, you are left with a clean slate. You can even plant another tree in its place should you wish. Stump grinding is a much less intensive process. A machine is used to shred the stump into wood chips. It will remove the stump, but the roots will be left in place. 


Why is stump removal necessary?

There are many reasons stump removal is considered necessary for many homeowners. One reason for stump removal is the aesthetic appeal left in your yard. Having stumps or remnants of stumps can make a beautiful yard look shabby. Many choose to remove the stumps left in their yard if they plan on selling their home, as this will improve their property’s market value. The most popular reason, however, is due to the pests that a decaying stump may attract. Termites are attracted to rotting or decaying wood. Once they have made their nest, they are tough to get rid of. We suggest removing the stump to prevent these pests from damaging your home and other trees around them.
